Outside the Law
Lee Bussart Bowles (’01) and her fainting goat, Camilla Parker Bowles, are carving out a new niche on the beauty pageant circuit. Camilla was elected Prettiest Goat in Marshall County. She won the title by beating out a goat belonging to the mayor of Lewisburg. The victory caught the attention of News Channel 2 in Nashville as well as PBS. Lee received the goat from a family friend and made an immediate entrance into the legal world. While Lee was mediating a case with attorneys from Memphis, Camilla, who was tied to the water spigot behind Lee’s building, tried to jump and head butt her way into the office. Camilla, who has three kids—Super Bowles, Punch Bowles, and Fiesta Bowles—has high hopes for keeping the title in the family. Come see Lee and her famous fainting goat at the Goat, Music, and More Festival (http://www.goatsmusicandmore.com/) in Lewisburg this October.
Kyle Williams (’01), who was Lee’s clinic partner during law school, is
involved with an election of his own. He is running for the District 2 City
Commission seat in Decatur, Georgia. His campaign is focusing on affordable
housing, crime reduction, education, environmental sustainability, and smart
land use and zoning. He has served on the Decatur Zoning Board of Appeals
since 2007. Even if you can’t vote for him, check out his website at
http://www.electkylewilliams.com and come press the flesh with Kyle and
other alumni at the Annual Metro-Atlanta Alumni Event on October 13 at his
home in Decatur.
Mason Jones (’07) wondered how South Carolina got to be the state with the most public pride. After seeing countless bumper stickers, t-shirts, hats, and flip flops with the famous palmetto tree and crescent moon, Mason decided it was time for Tennessee to show its colors. Initially partnering with fellow alum Brock Bosson, he started Volunteer Traditions to bring the state flag of Tennessee to national prominence. His company markets ties, hats, polos, dog collars and leashes and other items that have the three stars of the state flag as the main design. To see a full line of his products go to www.volunteertraditions.com. Everyone already knew that we produce the best lawyers in Tennessee. Now we have produced the man with most state spirit.
